When you sport a chemically relaxed hairstyle, maintenance is essential to prevent dryness, breakage and other damage. To avoid these common pitfalls, repeat this vital mantra: condition and moisturize. Many products that cater to relaxed hair focus on these two staples, but some stand head and shoulders above the rest. While the title of “best” product ultimately relies on your personal preferences and the characteristics of your hair, recommendations from the pros offer some inspiration.
